This move uses force to fight the force, and the effect is surprisingly good.

After the words came to her, Empress Wei's smile immediately froze on her face. However, as a experienced politician, she could finally tell which is more important, "to coax Zhang Qian, the unstable factor, away from Chang'an as soon as possible" or "to compete for a moment of excitement". Therefore, she shook her head decisively and announced the end of the topic.

"So that's the case, the more you prepare, the better. The Ai family has issued an oral order to let them meet Zhang Qing's request as much as possible."

"Thank you, the Queen Mother!" Zhang Qian bowed and showed respect.

"In recent days, the Ai family has received many memorials, saying that Zhang Qing not only has great military achievements, but also has a talent for governing the country and ensuring national stability. It is advisable to be ranked in the inner court as soon as possible and participate in state decisions." After hesitation, Empress Wei's smile loosened again and said softly, "When the late emperor passed away, he always said that Zhang Qing was a pillar of the country. Therefore, the Ai family also wanted to ask in person today, where is Zhang Qing's ambition?" (Note: The inner court refers to the emperor's confidant staff, similar to the cabinet in the Ming Dynasty.)

Half of these sentences are intended to win over and comfort, while the other half is intended to be tempted. Take out a pre-arranged title of Pingzhang, a subordinate of the Secretariat, or the title of the third rank of the Secretariat, so that Zhang Qian will not continue to mess around. At the same time, he also wants to find out what Zhang Qian’s real political intention is, so that he can make corresponding arrangements for himself.

Although Zhang Qian did not have enough political experience, he could understand it. Therefore, after a little consideration, he responded with a smile according to the pre-prepared plan, "I am ashamed of the praise of my colleagues and predecessors in the dynasty. Two years ago and last year, the reason why the last general was able to make some contributions on the battlefield was that he relied on the great blessing of the late emperor, and the other was that he relied on the strong national strength of the Tang Dynasty. As for the ambition, the Empress Dowager asked the Queen Mother to forgive the courage of the general. I am willing to raise a three-foot sword to restore the territory of the Longshuo period for the Tang Dynasty!"

"The territory during the Longshuo period? It will take Zhang Qing a long time!" Wei Wushuang's eyes flashed when he heard it, and he clenched his fists to remind him.

During the Longshuo period (661-663 AD), it was the peak of the Tang Dynasty's military power. In just three short periods, the Tang Dynasty defeated Goguryeo and Baekje in the east and captured most of North Korea; established the Eight Governor's Offices and 76 states in the west, and included all sixteen countries including Tochar (now Afghanistan), Da (now Kashmir), Persia (now Iran) and other sixteen countries. In the north, they moved the Yanran Protectorate north to the Uighur Yazhang (now Mongolia) in the north, and in the south, they drank the Ma Mekong River, and marked the boundary of Guanzhou (most half of Vietnam) and returned.

Although the Tang army has recovered the Thunder Ye and Mobei again, the army is very powerful. However, the territory of the Tang Dynasty is still one-quarter away from the Longshuo period. Moreover, the opponents of the Tang Dynasty are more than three times stronger than those of the Longshuo period. If Zhang Qian had made the lifelong ambition to restore the territory during the Longshuo period, he would basically not have to return to Chang'an in this life.

"The late emperor met me with the country's soldiers, and my hometown soldiers responded." Zhang Qian was prepared in his heart and immediately quoted a few words from the ancients in response. "If it didn't work, I would rather return with my horse and corpse than sit at home and face the white hair in the mirror."

"Use good ambitions!" Although Wei Wushuang was a woman, she felt hot in her heart when she heard it. She immediately forgot the purpose of summoning Zhang Qian and slapped the table with her hands.

"In the world, the greatest achievements are to defeat the strong enemy outside the territory." Zhang Qian laughed and continued to add loudly, "Huo Qubing sealed the wolf's servants for hundreds of years, but people still gave him a name and gave him a thumbs up. Who was the prime minister at that time, but how many people remember? Emperor Wu of Han was foolish in his later years, which made people live in decline. However, hundreds of years later, when people mentioned Hanwu, they only remembered his great martial arts, which made the people of the world no longer be poisoned by foreign soldiers."

The first few sentences are about their own selfishness, and they want to be famous in history and be admired forever in future generations. The next few sentences are tactful reminders to Wei Wushuang that only the emperor who can expand his territory can become a wise king praised by the world. Of course, the legitimacy of those in power is easier to be recognized by the world.

Wei Wushuang killed Wu Zetian all day long to prevent the crazy appearance of the unstable throne. She must be clear to me. She must understand that Zhang Qian's words are not slander. However, the challenges she faces at the moment cannot be solved by simply expanding territory. Therefore, after pondering for a long time, she smiled and tugged, "Zhang Qing's eyes are indeed lofty, no wonder the late emperor was so optimistic about you during his lifetime. The Ai family cannot give you too much troops and food for the time being, but within the scope of the Zhenxi Protectorate, the power to decide on one's own words can be given to you. In addition, five years later, if the national treasury can be filled, the Ai family can support you and destroy the two countries in the west!"

"Thank you, Empress Dowager, I am grateful!" Even though he had already received news from Gao Yanfu in advance, Zhang Qian still admired Empress Wei's decisiveness. He stood up and saluted solemnly.

As for the heart, as a time traveler, he really doesn't care whether the person sitting in the position of the emperor is a man or a woman. Especially after he decided to break the original historical shackles, he had no resistance to Wei Wushuang replacing the Li family as the queen. However, he did not believe that Empress Wei had the ability to be a hero, his mind and vision, and because he offended Princess Anle, Empress Wei was unable to feel at ease with him.

"Actually, in the heart of Ai's family, I hope to stay in Chang'an with Zhao. You are only twenty-three or four years old this year, and you have time to fight for the country in the future. Stay in the inner court and accumulate some experience in formulating national policies. In time, you will definitely become a servant of the left and right, and plan for the Ai's family." Sure enough, after giving a sweet date, Wei Wushuang immediately began to win over Zhang Qian again.

"Niu Daduhu is over 70 years old. If he is alone in the Western Regions, Mo Jiang is really unable to rest." Zhang Qian didn't think about it and gave the answer decisively, "In addition, Mo Jiang is afraid that he will stay in Chang'an for a long time and forget his ambitions today. Moreover, after all, the Wei ministers read too little. If they do not have enough credit support, even if they are barely ranked in the inner court, their words will not be of much weight. Therefore, it is better to be down-to-earth and guard the national gates for the Tang Dynasty first."

These are all truths, and after they were told, Wei Wei Wushuang could not refute them at all. Therefore, after a little consideration, she smiled and sighed, "It's true that Niu Shizhao is indeed a little old, and among the generals in the court, there are not many who have similar experience and prestige as his. Well, there will be a tiger general in the Western Regions to take charge. Zhang Qing will be the arm of Niu Shizhao first. In the future, he will retire and return home. It will be more natural for you to take over his position."

"Thank you for your accomplishment!" Zhang Qian breathed a sigh of relief and saluted Wei Wushuang again.

During Li Xian's lifetime, Wei Wushuang was named Empress Shuntian Yisheng. Although she has grown up for a lifetime, the title of "Empress Dowager" is far less than that of Empress Shun's. Therefore, she suddenly heard the old name from Zhang Qian's mouth, and her eyes immediately became much softer.

"Zhang Qing doesn't have to be too polite!" She raised her hands gently to Zhang Qian, and she smiled and ordered, "Who is the ruler who doesn't expect the country to be rich and strong? Since the Ai family took over the important task of governing the country from the late emperor, they have been thinking hard all day long, thinking about how to rebuild the prosperous age and fulfill the last wish of the late emperor. You are willing to abandon the prosperity in Chang'an City and take the initiative to guard the country's gates for the Tang Dynasty. Of course, the Ai family must fully support it!"

Without waiting for Zhang Qian to respond, she thought about it and continued to add with a smile, "What's more, quelling the rebellion in the Western Regions and reintroducing the Mobei back to the Tang Dynasty are not only the merits of the powerful generals you and others, but also the two most commendable glory of the late emperor in his life. In any case, the Ai family cannot tolerate these two glory being covered in dust again!"

It was rare that she also told the truth. Zhang Qian heard it and felt mixed emotions. After careful consideration, he stood up solemnly and bowed, "Don't worry, even if the general is only in one breath, he will not tolerate any foreign races. He will run rampant in Suoye and Shule."

"Why should the Shangdu Protector say so heavily? The Ai family thought that as long as the Shangdu Protector is given two to three years, those who can't sleep will definitely be foreign tribes near Shule and Suoye." Empress Wei was stunned and shook her head with a smile.

"The Western Regions are ultimately the border. If we want to expand territory for the Tang Dynasty, we will rely on support from the Central Plains." Zhang Qian thought for a while and added in a low voice.

"The Ai family understands that the Central Plains is the foundation, and the Western Regions are branches and leaves. Whether the branches and leaves can grow strong and whether they can develop outward depends on whether the foundation is good or not." Empress Wei was not considered stupid when governing the country, and nodded slightly with a smile.

"The Queen of the Holy Emperor is wise! I will think hard for many days, but I can't even give a message to the Queen of the Holy Emperor. If there is nothing else in the Holy Emperor, please let me go..." Seeing this, Zhang Qian did not intend to talk more. He bowed and asked to leave. However, before he could say the second half of the sentence, Wei Wushuang suddenly interrupted with a smile, "Don't worry, the Ai family has something to ask about."

"Master, please ask, I will tell you everything you know!" Zhang Qian suddenly became alert, but his answer became more respectful and cautious.

"You just came to the Imperial Study Room, but did you meet Your Majesty?" Wei Wushuang didn't go around the corner and asked straightforwardly.

"After returning to the saint, I really met the saint just now!" Zhang Qian heard this and his mind quickly recovered. He responded loudly according to the answers Zhang Xu and Luo Huaizu had already prepared for him.

The palace was filled with Queen Mother Wei's eyes. He had long guessed that he could not hide anything from the encounter with the little emperor. However, he could try his best to guide the influence of this matter in a direction that is beneficial to him, rather than denying it, increasing others' fear of him.

Sure enough, after hearing his answers openly, the smile on Empress Wei's face became much more vivid. After considering it, he continued to ask softly: "Have you ever been difficult for you? He is young, and the Ai family and the late emperor are busy with the government affairs and neglect the management of him. If he had a problem with the Supreme Protector just now, please ask the Supreme Protector to see the Supreme Protector for the sake of the late Protector and the Ai family, and don't take it to heart!"

"The General of the Mo dared not!" Zhang Qian smiled and bowed politely, "The Supreme Lord is kind by nature and meets the General of the Mo. How could it be difficult for the General of the Mo? Just now, the Supreme Lord only mentioned the First Emperor to the General of the Mo. His sadness was hard to resolve, so he delayed some more time. He did not mention anything else at all."

"Oh!" After hearing this, Empress Wei felt a little calm and nodded suspiciously.

"Don't worry about Empress Dowager!" Shangguan Wan'er suddenly took a step forward and "helped" to explain with a smile, "The Lord of the Lord is very close to you. When I went to summon Shangdu for the Empress Dowager, I saw that Shangdu was teaching the Lord of the Lord's abilities!"

"Oh? What's the ability?" Wei Wushuang's eyes suddenly became cold and she asked with a smile.

"Tai Chi!" Zhang Qian didn't even think about it and responded calmly, "The Queen of the Holy Emperor, please forgive me for being reckless. The Queen of the Mo family is born in a humble background and always feels that the body is the foundation of human beings. Those with strong bodies will naturally have a complete spirit and will be difficult to invade all kinds of diseases. Therefore, the Queen of the Mo family studied hard all day long, worried that he would neglect his muscles and bones, so he demonstrated the Tai Chi that he once offered to the late emperor. In order to ensure that the Emperor of the Mo family can exercise his fists and feet more and be healthy when he has free time!"

When Empress Wei was learning boxing, she also gestured a few times by herself, knowing that Tai Chi does have the effect of exerting muscles and bones and unblocking bloodlines. Therefore, her eyes quickly became softer and nodded with a smile: "It turns out to be Tai Chi, Zhang Qing is determined. It's a pity that Zhang Qing is eager to rush to the Western Regions. Otherwise, the Ai family really hopes that you can enter the palace a few more times and let the emperor master learn this set of boxing skills."

"The boxing general has been presented to the Master, and the boxing principle is extremely simple." Zhang Qian smiled and looked around. Finally, he looked at Xue Sijian, the general of the prison guard standing in the shadow. "The general's martial arts are ten times better than the Master. He can teach it to the Master with a few glances. He doesn't need the Master to enter the palace in person."

"Is that right?" Empress Wei quickly turned her eyes to Xue Sijian and asked with a smile. "Xue Jianmen, how good are your martial arts than Zhang Qing?"

"Qi Mingmother, in private competition, the last general and the Supreme Protector are hard to distinguish between the Supreme Protector. If there is a battle for the victory on the battlefield, the last general will become three, and the Supreme Protector cannot stop the Supreme Protector's hand." Xue Sijian did not dare to be negligent, walked out of the shadow and answered carefully.

"Why is this?" Queen Wei was interesting to hear and continued to figure it out.

"In private competition, is it because of whether the martial arts skills are proficient. However, the battle for power is based on experience, strength and a stream of blood in my stomach." Xue Sijian was obviously an expert in martial arts. After a few words, he explained the truth clearly. "The generals of the United States have never been on the battlefield, and their experience and blood have lost to the Shangdu Guardian more than one level. However, the generals of the United States are only in their early twenties, but the generals of the United States are over fifty, and the two sides cannot compare."

"Yes!" Empress Wei nodded slightly, then looked at Zhang Qian up and down, and his eyes suddenly became extremely strange.

Even though Zhang Qian was prepared, he was still feeling irritated by the sight. After enduring it and enduring it, he gave up the idea of ​​putting his hand into his arms, just adjusting his breathing, looking at his nose, looking at his nose, and not squint.

He knew that he had only learned fighting for a few days and was definitely not a match for martial arts experts like Xue Sijian. At this moment, as long as Queen Wei gave the order, he would be extremely likely to be doomed.

Even after hearing the bad news, the brothers of the Sacred Ye Army immediately raised an army to avenge themselves. With just over 3,000 troops, they might not be able to enter the Daming Palace as they wish.

Just when he was secretly regretting that he shouldn't be so careless, he heard Wei Wushuang chuckling in a low voice: "The guardian of the Shangdu doesn't have to be nervous. The Ai family is not the inhumane monarch, and they will look forward to seeing you and Xue Jianmen. Since the Xue Jianmen can also teach Tai Chi, the Ai family will not delay the guardian of the Shangdu. From tomorrow, the Ai family will let the priest follow the Xue Jianmen to learn Tai Chi to strengthen the body."

"Thank you for your understanding." Zhang Qian secretly breathed a sigh of relief and bowed quickly, "The Empress Dowager is busy with official duties, so I will not be inconvenient for too long. Please leave."

"Well, go." Wei Wushuang was quite satisfied with his position in this round and waved with satisfaction.

Zhang Qian did not dare to stay for a long time, so he bowed again and turned around and left slowly. However, before his feet could step across the door of the imperial study room, the wet and cold sound of Queen Wei was heard behind him, like a silver ring snake crawling across the grass in the middle of the night. "The Shangdu Guard seems to be very worried about the emperor? The Ai family forgot to replace the emperor and thanked Shangdu Guard."

On Zhang Qian's back, the hairs stood upside down. Is it a blessing or a disaster? It's a disaster. He turned around decisively, faced Wei Wushuang, stood up and held his fists, "The Queen Mother was too rewarded. The Emperor was the bloodline of the late emperor. My minister respected the Emperor, and naturally hoped that the Emperor would be free from illness or disaster and live forever. The Queen Mother was the mother of the Emperor, and I probably didn't want to see any mistakes in the Emperor's bloodline."

"Huh?" Empress Wei frowned slightly at first, then felt an invisible murderous aura coming to her face. She instinctively moved her body to the side and waved her hand with a smile, "What the Supreme Master said is very much. Although the Supreme Master is not the biological flesh and blood of the Ai family, the Ai family regards him as if he is out of his own. Thank you, the Supreme Master, for your guidance to your Majesty to practice martial arts. The Ai family will definitely let Your Majesty keep this in mind so that when he takes power in the future, he will repay the Supreme Master in person."

"The General of the Mo has already obtained too much from the late emperor and the Queen Mother, so he dare not be greedy!" Zhang Qian also smiled and bowed slightly, "It's too late, and the Queen Mother will leave. Please rest early so that he can continue to work hard for the country tomorrow!"

After saying that, he turned around again and walked slowly out of the palace gate.

Wei Wushuang was both disappointed and angry, and gritted his teeth at his back. However, he was unwilling to be disturbed by the little character Zhang Qian before he could settle the challenger, so he could only watch him leave calmly.

"Empress Dowager, I'm afraid this person cannot be kept!" Shangguan Wan'er stood quietly beside her. When Zhang Qian's footsteps were far away, she had not seen Wei Wushuang take any action, so she came forward carefully and whispered advice.

"Let him go! Huh--" Wei Wushuang suddenly sighed and fell back to the dragon throne. "There is no need to make any more troubles. Wei Bo said that in terms of how skillful the use of firearms is, there is no second team in the world, which can be compared with the Thunder Leaf Camp."

"But he just..." Shangguan Wan'er was unwilling to give up and continued to remind her in a hoarse voice.

"There must be someone to guard the western gateway for the Tang Dynasty." Wei Wushuang thought for a while, and continued to sigh and shook his head, "The Ai family also spent a lot of effort to restore peace in the Western Regions. He said just now that the great contribution is to expand the territory. Forget it, the Ai family will allow him to be arrogant for a while. When the overall situation is settled, the Ai family will see if he regrets what he did today!"
